What it reported doing in 2025
Anabaptist Foundation makes contributions to exempt organizations including churches and other publicly supported organizations.

AF also assists other Anabaptist charities comply with state charitable registration requirements by overseeing the preparation of the forms required to comply with those registration requirements.
